This was a very somber experience. It's hard to believe that hundreds of soldiers are buried there. It was wonderful to experience it at least once in your life.

Memorial dedicated to the service members who lost their lives during the USS Arizona attack in 1941. A US Navy boat ferries you out to the memorial site, where docents provide educational presentations.

Reviewed June 25, 2025
I had high hopes for this historic site, but it turned out to be a major letdown. The Arizona memorial offers very little to actually see, and the overall experience was underwhelming. On top of that, the other three attractions each require a separate ticket, which makes the visit quite costly. You can find other World War II museums that offer similar exhibits for much less—or even for free. Save your time and money; this overpriced and dull attraction just isn’t worth a day of your Hawaii trip.

"The Ultimate USS Arizona Experience"
TripAdvisor user rating 5.0 out of 5
Reviewed June 22, 2025
We went on 2012 to Oahu with our daughter SIL & 4 year old grandson, who behaved very well during all our excursions. Booking at our hotel was very affordable & convenient since the tour bus picked us up there. The Arizona Memorial is very difficult to describe since it’s a very emotional experience seeing first hand what those very brave young men did by making the ultimate sacrifice
